i got a fantastic pop can stove, complete with every tinder and fine firemaking gear known to man, all in a cloth bag! I feel a bit lazy amd tight with my offering after that lot!

I was going to try it out today and get some pictures for this thread, but I spent the whole day swearing at the machinery that I was trying to use instead :(

Will be chasing the missing gifts as of today, been away in finland for the last 10 days or so with the Arctic trip to Kittila. I'm sorry to those that havent received their gifts and will make sure you get something even if i have to make em myself!

Thanks Guys

Very caring of you Dave, but no need to make something yourself and send out, at least for me. I was happy to chip in and as has been said giving is what Christmas is all about. I'm sure whoever was my secret Santa has their reasons and I bear them no ill will.

Welcome back to the fold, hope FInland proved to be just as exciting as it looks in the documentaries.

How do folks. Not been on here since before christmas. I recieved some lovely chutneys and jams. And a great little leather drinking cup from tengu. Thanks tengu.


Some of you may have read i had quite a nasty finger injury while making a couple of things just before christmas. (One of which was my secret santa pressie)

Well im pleased to say i have made a 90% recovery and can just about use my hand properly again now. Anyway the pressie is finished and will hopefully be on the way tomorrow if i finish work early enough.

To the recipient i apologise for the delay and hope you undersand the reasoning. I abandoned the original gift and put some extra effort into this one as way of an apology for the delay. Cheers kris

Got mine a few days ago and then couldn't get on the forum.

I am so happy with it! Feel very lucky and very happy to have waited!

This is a keeper and looks great, works great and is sharp as hell!

Thank you so much!
